Originally, quiche dough was a simple leavened dough, like bread dough, and it was not until much later that it was replaced by puff pastry or shortcrust pastry. The \"real\" quiche Lorraine recipe is made with local ingredients: eggs, bacon and cream. And yes, the real recipe contains no cheese, but gourmands that we are, we can't do without it! \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;\">We're going to offer you 2 different quiches with easy-to-make combinations. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline; color: #003366;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><a style=\"color: #003366; text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.comptoirdesmillesimes.com\/blog\/accord-mets-vins\/\">&gt; Food and wine pairing guides &lt;<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;\"><b>With a Quiche Lorraine\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;\">An original quiche recipe, Quiche Lorraine is composed mainly of eggs, cream and bacon, with a hint of nutmeg. On the palate, the texture is fairly light, with hints of mild spices. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;\">It should therefore be accompanied by a wine that is fairly fruity, but supple and round on the palate. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul style=\"list-style-type: square;\">\n<li><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.comptoirdesmillesimes.com\/weinbach\/pinot-blanc-2018-domaine-weinbach.html\"><span style=\"color: #ffc000;\"><b>Pinot Blanc 2018 - Domaine Weinbach\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;\">We're staying in the region with a white wine from Alsace. This time, we've chosen a Pinot Blanc from Domaine Weinbach, one of the region's legendary estates. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;\">Pinot Blanc is an all-purpose grape variety. It is n'y too dry, n'y too fruity. It goes well with cold starters, shellfish and, in this case, our tart. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The pleasant nose releases aromas of white flowers and citrus fruit. On the palate, after a frank attack that contrasts with the roundness of the quiche, the fruit and spices take over, ensuring a balanced, gourmet match.<\/span><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"> \u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<ul style=\"list-style-type: square;\">\n<li class=\"western\">\n<h3><span style=\"color: #ff0000; font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.comptoirdesmillesimes.com\/bourgogne\/cote-de-nuit-villages-mosaic-2018-daniel-rion-fils.html\">C\u00f4te de Nuit-Villages Mosa\u00efc 2018 - Daniel Rion &amp; Fils<\/a>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;\">Obviously, we could have chosen a red from Alsace. A Pinot Noir to be precise, but to show that our friends from Lorraine aren't chauvinists, we selected a wine from Burgundy.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;\">Daniel Rion's C\u00f4te de Nuit is a gem of a Pinot Noir. Supple, crisp, but with a little tension on the finish, this wine will go wonderfully well with our quiche. Its wild berry notes and slightly licorice finish will complement the smokiness of the bacon. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;\"><b>With Salmon Quiche\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;\">We're not going to go into detail about the composition of the Salmon Quiche, as we all have our own recipe that Grandmother used to make for us. Just make sure you have enough fish in the tart to get that smoky taste right on the palate. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;\">White wines are the natural choice for this type of quiche. Whites that are rich enough, with a mineral, \"flinty\" structure to recall the smoky notes. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">If, however, you're a red wine enthusiast, it's essential to avoid wines that are too powerful, and try a southern wine with more sunshine and flavour.<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\"> \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<ul style=\"list-style-type: square;\">\n<li class=\"western\"><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.comptoirdesmillesimes.com\/dagueneau\/blanc-etc-2018-didier-dagueneau.html\"><span style=\"color: #ffc000;\">Blanc Etc... 2018 - Didier Dagueneau\u00a0<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;\">Un peu de folie.... Even if this wine is a match for so many fine gourmet dishes, there's nothing like a simple, local dish to accompany it. This 100% Sauvignon is declassified as a Vin de France, but its Pouilly-Fum\u00e9 parcels will surprise you with their aromatic complexity. As mentioned above, the Sauvignon grape's citrus and lemon notes mingle with a smoky palette brought out by the wine's minerality. Ample on the palate, the finish is powerful and straightforward. A real bomb! \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul style=\"list-style-type: square;\">\n<li class=\"western\"><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.comptoirdesmillesimes.com\/pouilly-fuisse\/pouilly-fuisse-2018-domaine-ferret.html\"><span style=\"color: #ffc000;\">Pouilly Fuiss\u00e9 2018 - Domaine Ferret\u00a0<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;\">To shake things up a bit, we're now going for a Pouilly-Fuiss\u00e9. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;\">So no, it's not a wine from the same region as Pouilly-Fum\u00e9, nor is it the same grape variety, as this one is made from Chardonnay, Burgundy's white grape variety. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;\">Burgundy! Again! Yes, but we have no choice if we want to find those smoky nuances in the wine. Yes, Chardonnay is one of the lucky ones, but not just any Chardonnay. Let's just say you need a fine terroir, and above all a Chardonnay that benefits from very ripe harvests, in sunny vintages. And here comes our Pouilly. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;\">Found in the M\u00e2con region, Pouilly produces a very rich-tasting white wine, with a slightly oily texture and, in this vintage, a subtle woody, smoky finish...\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;\">A superb wine to discover!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline; color: #003300; font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;\"><a style=\"color: #003300; text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.comptoirdesmillesimes.com\/blog\/accord-mets-vins\/\">&gt; Food and wine pairing guides<\/a><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><div class=\"feedzy-186eed078abd13cc0305cb155ac19f20 feedzy-rss\"><ul><li  style=\"padding: 15px 0 25px\" class=\"rss_item\"><div class=\"rss_image\" style=\"height:150px;width:150px;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.comptoirdesmillesimes.com\/pierre-moncuit\/delos-grand-cru-champagne-blanc-de-blancs-pierre-moncuit.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\" noopener\" title=\"Delos Grand Cru -
